Desire Petroleum

<>Desire Petroleum plc (Desire) is a UK company listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) dedicated to exploring for oil and gas in the North Falkland Basin.

Desire has recently completed a 6 well exploration programme. The Liz well encountered dry gas and gas condensate at 2 separate levels while other wells recorded shows.
Together with the Rockhopper Exploration Sea Lion oil discovery in the licence to the north, these wells have provided significant encouragement for the potential of the North Falkland Basin. The oil at Sea Lion is of particular interest as this has demonstrated that oil is trapped in potentially significant quantities in a fan sandstone on the east flank of the basin. It is believed that over 50% of this east flank play fairway is on Desire operated acreage.

Desire has now completed new 3D seismic acquisition which provides coverage over the east flank play, Ann, Pam and Helen prospects. The results from fast-track processing of priority areas are provided in the 2011 CPR. A farm-out to Rockhopper has been announced. The revised equities are shown on the licence map (subject to regulatory approval and completion of the farm-in well). Desire Petroleum

Rant........will someone tell the thick reporter they are drilling in the Falklands now and i see its just Desire causing a row..nothing to do with RKH or FOGL drilling cant even get a basic story out.thick!!!

Desire Petroleum plans more drilling in Falklands
Desire Petroleum, the UK oil explorer, expects to resume drilling in the Falkland Islands in the third quarter of this year, potentially creating a new row with Argentina.

hear hear marky and the 3i piece was pretty crap as well.

Chav did you watch iball on iii seemingly RKH are drilling Beth its just shoddy reporting not even getting the basic facts correct.

I looked at iball yesterday and it defies belief that the media can employ such dumb nuts when there is so much unemployment.

just another pump and dump oil stock

Marky is very speechless nowadays.

gloating is unbecoming

re your post 4352 p218 and my reply 4354 same page.you may like to look at and see a "spike " in action in real time.over at the MATD thread.current price 58p.
is this a spike? or not? no one knows, as of today, i certainly dont.

Technical Review

3. Future Drilling
Substantial new information has been obtained from the Liz well which
will have a bearing on the remainder of the drilling campaign.

(a) Reservoir Liz encountered new sandstones which if better
developed elsewhere in the basin could be major targets.

(b) The oil and gas petroleum systems have been confirmed with
the possibility of an additional wet gas system.

(c) Liz encountered a number of different pressure regimes
indicating good seals in the basin enhancing hydrocarbon trapping
possibilities.

(d) The geological model for the basin has been confirmed.

Given the excellent news on RKH you can see the shorters on DES desperate to close positions now :)

LOL

Now where is Hlyeo!!! happy days!!!

Would be lovely to see RKH past 100p later today :)

Make them shorts burn as they struggle to close their positions.

Just closed for +10.5 - not bad for 17 minutes work :-)

DES does not have an interest in RKH's sea lion oil discovery so why the rise in the sp?

Shorts closing.............panic by shorters.

It proves the Northern basin has oil.......whoooo hoooo!!!!!!
now the party starts and am off to the pub watch out for new partners coming on board and shell have cocked up again.

Halifax,

I think it is just down to the rockhopper well 'proving that there is oil in them thar hills'.
Never been in Des (In RKH, FOGL and FKL) but this discovery has indicated that the possiblity of Des and all F1 oilies have of finding oil is enhanced.
So as a RKH holder I am obviously well (no pun intended) please, but to the Des holders, you should take encouragement. To those who still hold, I wish you the best of luck.

I sold a load of DES in the spike and buying more RKH on the dips now.

This could be a big find.

19% porosity and 53M of net oil pay.

PP if that is the case why does RKH say in their RNS there is an option to abandon the well?
